Bilbao Airport
Bilbao Airport is a public airport located 9 km north of Bilbao. It is the most important airport of the Basque Country and northern Spain. It is famous for its new main terminal opened in 2000 and designed by Santiago Calatrava.
The terminal has a sleek design, with two symmetrical "wings" and a sharp tip at its center which is specially visible when approaching the terminal from the sides. This original design has granted the building the nickname of "La Paloma" ("The Dove"). White concrete and glass have been used. The interiors are open and luminous spaces, distributed in two floors, the upper one for departures (check-in counters and gates) and the lower for arrivals.
